Iron Savior

Two uploads in one day?! I must be CRAAAAAZY!

Iron Savior is a power/speed metal band from Germany. Formed by the legendary Kai Hansen and Piet Sielck (who was Michael Weikath's predecessor in Helloween, before they were Helloween), this band is dedicated to bringing you sci-fi themed metal with enormous balls. As in, washing machine-sized. No fruity keyboards to be found here, Iron Savior are all about riffs. And they're good riffs, able to get you headbanging in seconds. Their lyrical content is mainly an ongoing sci-fi story about the remnants of Atlantis and a sentient spaceship called, appropriately enough, the Iron Savior. Kai Hansen left the band after their third album, but they've continued on without him, and are just as strong as ever. Sielck is a well-known producer amongst power metal bands, and the post-Kai albums in particular have near-perfect production. In their ten years of existance, they haven't progressed or changed very much at all. But you can always expect a solid album out of the band, and I believe you will enjoy each and every one of these. If you're looking for a particular one to start out with, though, I would go with Condition Red.

"Ancient calls from somewhere in time
We have to follow the sign
Distant voices; sources unknown
Where will they lead us? Where will we go?

On the scent for the lost - COMING HOME!"
